A plaque designed by Tasmanian artist Judith-Rose Thomas has been unveiled at the Launceston branch of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, following similar events at metropolitan ABC buildings across Australia.

A 'Welcome to Country' was given by Vicki Matson-Green in palawa kani, and translated by Patsy Cameron, before the unveiling by the artist.

State Director Fiona Reynolds oversaw the event in Hobart on Monday and Launceston on Tuesday, coinciding with Reconciliation Week.

"Both of these women have been very strong voices for the recognition of Aboriginal history and rights in Tasmania."

"They were instrumental in establishing and building the Riawanna Aboriginal Centre at the University of Tasmania, which focuses on Tasmanian Aboriginal studies."

The plaque recognises Tasmania's Aboriginal community as the traditional owners of Lutriwitja (Tasmania), and features a representation of Tasmanian Aboriginal rock carvings.

"These rock carvings were believed to have been used as a learning tool for the youths in the Aboriginal tribes."

Ms Thomas expressed her wish that all people can use these symbols to learn to live together, work together, and make Tasmania a beautiful place to be.

You can listen to the Welcome to Country by Vicki Matson Green, and follow the translation below.

Welcome to our land in Launceston, the country of the Tyerrernotepanner, the Panninher and the Leterremairrener clans people, who belong to the land where the three rivers meet.

Our people walked a long, long way across the Milky Way to Tasmania.

Our ancestral spirits walked down these stairs, coming down and creating country.

When our ancestral spirits stopped digging, they transformed themselves into rock sentinels of various forms, that stayed within the country, watching over our land and our people.

Within this ancient land, the three rivers, the Tamar, North Esk and South Esk, are significantly spiritual places, and within the Launceston region, the Gorge is the most important spiritual place of all.

I acknowledge the spirits of our ancestors, and our elders past and present, for they are the keepers of our knowledge and the tellers of our stories.

We wish the ABC well, and acknowledge their positive steps towards achieving reconciliation with the Aboriginal communities within Tasmania.
